NOW with Bill Moyers. Transcript. December 17, 2004 | PBS: "HANNITY [10/29/04]: Why would Osama bin Laden, who's been quiet for so long, come out and virtually try and influence the election today in favor of John Kerry by attacking the president the way he did?
MOYERS: Do you think what Sean Hannity said is fair?
VIGUERIE: Oh, absolutely.
MOYERS: But there's no fact to back that up. There's no effort to substantiate that with documentation.
VIGUERIE: That's what journalism is. It's just all opinion. Just opinion. "

My take on this:

Journalism is Opinion.
That's what he said
Journalism is Opinion.

So according to the Republicans we do not need facts.
We don't need documentation according to Republicans
We don't need accountability according to the Republicans, because any information that is reported is just opinion, not fact. And since the Republicans are in control their opinion is all that matters.

Sounds an awful lot like the Soviet Union information machine during the Cold War.
